College plans 11th annual Veterans Day Dinner

Panola College will hold its 11th annual Veterans Day Dinner on November 11 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Frances B. Ross Ballroom at the Charles C. Matthews Foundation Student Center. This event is free for any East Texas service member and one guest.

Coordinating the event are two Panola College service organizations: The Green Jackets, who serve the College and community as goodwill ambassadors, and the Student Government Association. The event is sponsored by the Green Jackets and SGA, along with area individuals, organizations, and businesses.

Individuals who wish to honor a Veteran may purchase a Flag of Honor for $25. The 3’x5’ flag will be mounted on a 6’ pole and placed at Panola College on West Panola Street from October 28 to November 15. Each flag will include a sign with the Veteran’s name, branch of service, and a personal message from the donor.

Information about additional sponsorships may be found by visiting panola.edu/veteransday. Funds raised from sponsorships will be used to fund this year’s Veterans Day Dinner, benefit the Panola County Texas Veterans Relief Fund, and fund future Panola College Veterans events.

Veterans and their guests must make a reservation for the Veterans Day Dinner by November 8 at 12:30 p.m. To reserve, contact Katie Ferris at 903-693-2094, email kferris@panola.edu, or complete the online form at panola.edu/veteransday.
